April 8 ~1200 GMT: freeze begins.

Over the next 24 hours I'll do tests, write Misc/NEWS, update version numbers, etc.

This is now. Please make no checkins to the release22-maint branch unless you're an Appointed Wizard (me, Jack, Tim, Fred) or have been asked to by an Appointed Wizard.

Especially given the -checkins situation.

Cheers, M.
